Klim Clothing

Perfect item for wearing under a mesh jacket when it’s chilly, roles up compact to tuck away when it warms up. Currently using every day in temperatures from 8C to 20C on short work commute.

The request for a review from SBS comes a bit early to be able to give a review for the performance of the jacket, however, some points that might be helpful for potential buyers.
I wanted a "all in one" jacket to supplement my Klim Marrakesh / Waterproof combination. Tried this and the Alpinestars Bogota. The Badlands was lighter, and much more wearable. The armour and construction feel top quality, and the jacket is a good weight. If you've seen the online reviews comparing this to the more expensive Badlands, I would tend to agree, that the Carlsbad is really all the jacket most will want, for a much lower price.
For reference I am 6'1". I have a 47" chest and a 40" waist (38 in vanity jeans size). A sleeve length of 33". I went for large. There is just enough room for a jumper and a light Arcteryx style puffer underneath for winter, but not too much room in summer with only a t-shirt. Sleeve length is fine for me, as that seems to come up oil some reviews.
Finally, SBS staff and service at Milton Keynes is absolutely first class. No issues ordering several colours and sizes from both manufacturers for "Try and Buy". Manager Sue was personally incredibly helpful, but every single person at the store is friendly and helpful, and nothing seems to be too much trouble for them. In an age where good service isn't commonplace, these guys should be supported. I've used them many times over the past two years and they always deliver. Thanks Sue and team for your help!

Nice and warm without heater on, so can only be great when switched on. Quick charge, not sure how long battery last yet

Light and fits lovely.
I'm usually an xl in helmet but I'm a large in this make so I'd say try one on.
Transition screen is a game changer.
